Beal Sixth Form or Leyton Sixth Form College?

I’ve received my only offers from both of these sixth forms and I wanted to get some opinions on which is a better school overall. I’ve heard bad things about Leyton but only good things about Beal. Please help me choose. My offer for Beal stands until Friday 28th May and Leyton has offered me a conditional postal offer.

I’ve heard that it’s like the ghetto💀. They don’t have a great support system and if you don’t pass your exams you’ll get kicked out immediately.

I applied there too but they didn’t reply. It was more a backup school for me if I didn’t get accepted by my first 3 choices. 1st was Valentine’s (rejected), 2nd was Leyton (accepted), 3rd was Beal (accepted). Tbh at first I was so excited when I received my acceptance letter from Leyton but after that I found out how it was a bad school and all my teachers are recommending Beal to me. Are you going to Beal too? Btw I applied to so many sixth forms especially in Ilford but barely any replied.

Do you mean the ppl are ghetto and rude? And also by kicked out, do you mean you get kicked out after not passing your year 12 mocks?

As a year 10 student who goes to Beal but wants to go 7 kings later I say it's good they have a good support system behavior is quite good not sure bout Layton tho however every school is not gonna be perfect and your gonna have to adapt their and it's not easy some teachers can be quite rude and pushy discriminative but many students have gone far from Beal so I recommend it.

Thank you for your input I accepted my offer to Beal 2 weeks ago funnily enough and hopefully it’s the right sixth form for me I’ve only heard good things 😊
